      In my experience you only see it if you have nsfw stuff turned on and you have nsfw unhidden and you browse stuff by new (this is coming from a furry on a furry instance). The furry complaints are overblown imo, lemmynsfw is way worse; stuff doesn’t always get tagged as nsfw there.

        I blocked like 3 magazines, and 99% of the furry stuff on my ‘new’ feed immediately dried up. Mostly just a few places being very active, it would seem.

          Yup you just gotta block them, that’s the animal control of Lemmy, lol. (No offense furries)

            Yeah, that’s why I don’t understand the complaints. You’re on the Lemmy equivalent of /r/all, of course you’re gonna get furry stuff. Just block them. No one’s gonna be upset by it. Only thing that’d make people upset is if instance blocking was added and blocking an instance also blocked all the users on it.

            That said I do kinda wish I could block lemmynsfw as a whole

      I don’t think I have really come across any and I browser All with NSFW enabled.

      I mean, I see a lot of furries in my local feed, but it doesn’t take a sherlock to see why. In all feed though, even with this account, I could hardly see any furry posts, although very occasionally they show up.

      I had to block five to ten-ish furry or similar communities and I’ve since seen nothing furry related on my feed. So it’s not like it’s a huge problem, but it does certainly affect people’s first impression of the platform.

      I have not seen any furry stuff yet, except the odd lemmy-flooded-by-furry meme. NSFW enabled.

      Maybe it’s lemm.ee? Not a furry but in all while sorting by new, I get a large quantity of furry porn, along with other porn. I’ll admit I’m blocking every porn community until I can just block instances, so maybe that shows more, but it’s been like this the entire time

      If you allow any NSFW content (like Ukraine feeds) it comes through, and there are like 40+ Yiff communities. I spent the weekend after I joined blocking them.

      The only others that are as bad are Baseball, Soccer, and F1. I am working on blocking all of them as well.
